Numeri 34
1 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Lamula Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Pamene mulowa mʼdziko la Kanaani, dziko lomwe lidzaperekedwa kwa inu ngati cholowa chanu, lidzakhale ndi malire awa:
“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:
3 “‘Chigawo cha kummwera kwa dziko lanu chidzayambira ku chipululu cha Zini motsatana ndi malire a Edomu. Kummawa malire anu a kummwera adzayambira kummawa, kumathero a Nyanja ya Mchere.
Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,
4 Malirewo adzapita kummwera ndipo adzakwera phiri la Akirabimu mpaka ku Zini. Mathero ake adzakhala kummwera kwa Kadesi-Baranea. Ndipo adzapitenso ku Hazari Adari mpaka kukafika ku Azimoni,
cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,
5 kumene malirewo adzakhote kuchokera ku Azimoni mpaka ku khwawa la ku Igupto ndi kukathera ku Nyanja Yayikulu.
where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.
6 “‘Malire anu a ku madzulo adzakhala ku gombe la Nyanja Yayikulu. Amenewo ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a ku madzulo.
Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.
7 “‘Malire anu a kumpoto, mzere wake uyambire ku Nyanja Yayikulu mpaka ku phiri la Hori
Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,
8 ndi kuchokera ku phiri la Hori mpaka ku Lebo Hamati. Malirewa apite ku Zedadi,
and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,
9 ndi kupitirira mpaka ku Ziforoni ndi kukathera ku Hazari-Enani. Awa ndiwo adzakhale malire anu a kumpoto.
continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10 “‘Za malire anu a kummawa, mulembe mzere kuchokera ku Hazari-Enani mpaka kukafika ku Sefamu.
And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
11 Malirewo adzatsikire ku Sefamu mpaka ku Ribila cha kummawa kwa Aini ndi kupitirira mpaka ku matsitso a cha kummawa kwa Nyanja ya Kinereti.
then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12 Tsono malirewo adzatsika motsatana ndi Yorodani ndi kukathera ku Nyanja ya Mchere. “‘Limeneli lidzakhala dziko lanu ndi malire ake mbali zonse.’”
Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”
13 Ndipo Mose analamula Aisraeli kuti, “Limeneli ndi dziko limene mudzalilandira pochita maere kuti likhale cholowa chanu. Yehova analamula kuti liperekedwe ku mafuko asanu ndi anayi ndi theka,
So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14 chifukwa mabanja a fuko la Rubeni, fuko la Gadi, ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo.
For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.
15 Mafuko awiriwa pamodzi ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandiriratu cholowa chawo patsidya pa mtsinje wa Yorodani ku Yeriko cha kummawa kotulukira dzuwa.”
These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
17 “Awa ndi mayina a anthu amene adzakugawireni dzikoli kuti likhale cholowa chanu: wansembe Eliezara ndi Yoswa mwana wa Nuni.
“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18 Musankhe mtsogoleri mmodzi kuchokera ku fuko lililonse kuti athandize kugawa dzikolo.
Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
19 Mayina awo ndi awa: Kalebe mwana wa Yefune, wochokera ku fuko la Yuda,
These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20 Semueli mwana wa Amihudi, wochokera ku fuko la Simeoni;
Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
21 Elidadi mwana wa Kisiloni, wochokera ku fuko la Benjamini;
Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Buki mwana wa Yogili, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Dani;
Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;
23 Hanieli mwana wa Efodi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Manase, mwana wa Yosefe;
Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
24 Kemueli mwana wa Sifitani, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Efereimu, mwana wa Yosefe.
Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
25 Elizafani mwana wa Parinaki, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Zebuloni;

26 Palitieli mwana wa Azani, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Isakara,

28 Pedaheli mwana wa Amihudi, mtsogoleri wochokera ku fuko la Nafutali.”
and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 Awa ndiwo mayina a anthu amene Yehova analamula kuti agawe cholowa cha Aisraeli mʼdziko la Kanaani.
These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
